A specialty coffeehouse sells Colombian coffee at a fair rate of 300 kilograms annually. the beans are purchased from a local supplier for $3 per kilogram. the coffeehouse estimates that it costs $50 in paperwork and labor to place an order for the coffee, and holding costs are based on a 10 percent annual interest rate. a. determine the optimal order quantity for Coffee? b. what is the time between the placement of orders? C. what is the average optimal annual cost? d. Suppose the coffee is ordered in a box of 50kg each. how many boxes should the coffee shop order?

A CNC milling machine has a purchase price of £120,000 and it is considered from an accounting standpoint to be depreciated to zero value over a period of 5 years. If the machine is to be used for 2 shifts with each shift working for 37 hours/ week and 45 weeks/ year. What is the machine cost/ hr which must be charged in order to amortise/repay the costs over the 5 year period? To make the calculation simpler, you can assume that over the 5 year period you will be required to pay back 8% interest on the sum borrowed. Express your answer in § / hour rounded up to the nearest penny

The M–N plant manufactures two different products: M and N. Selling prices and weeklymarket demands are shown in the following diagram. Each product uses raw materialswith costs as shown. The plant has three different machines: A, B, and C. Each performsdifferent tasks and can work on only one unit of material at a time.Process times for each task are shown in the diagram. Each machine is available2,400 minutes per week. There are no “Murphys” (major opportunities for the system tofoul up). Setup and transfer times are zero. Demand is constant.Operating expenses (including labor) total a constant $12,000 per week. Raw materialsare not included in weekly operating expenses.a. Where is the constraint in this plant?b. What product mix provides the highest proi t?c. What is the maximum weekly proi t this plant can earn?
